Classical Conditioning Concepts

What is Classical Conditioning?

• A type of learning in which a neutral stimulus comes to elicit a response after being paired with a stimulus that naturally elicits that response.

• A type of learning where a response is naturally triggered without prior learning.

• A process where a conditioned stimulus is paired with a new neutral stimulus.

• Learning by observing the experiences of others.

What is an Unconditioned Stimulus (US)?

• A stimulus that naturally triggers a response without prior learning.

• The natural response elicited by the unconditioned stimulus.

• A previously neutral stimulus that triggers a conditioned response.

• The learned response to a conditioned stimulus.

What is an Unconditioned Response (UR)?

• The natural response elicited by the unconditioned stimulus.

• A stimulus that naturally triggers a response without prior learning.

• A previously neutral stimulus that triggers a conditioned response.

• The learned response to a conditioned stimulus.

What is a Conditioned Stimulus (CS)?

• A previously neutral stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus, triggers a conditioned response.

• A stimulus that naturally triggers a response without prior learning.

• The natural response elicited by the unconditioned stimulus.

• The learned response to a conditioned stimulus.

What is a Conditioned Response (CR)?

• The learned response to a conditioned stimulus.

• A previously neutral stimulus that triggers a conditioned response.

• A stimulus that naturally triggers a response without prior learning.

• The natural response elicited by the unconditioned stimulus.

What is Acquisition in classical conditioning?

• The initial stage of learning in classical conditioning when the conditioned response starts to occur.

• The weakening and eventual disappearance of a conditioned response.

• The reappearance of an extinguished conditioned response after a rest period.

• The tendency to respond to stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus.

What is Extinction in classical conditioning?

• The weakening and eventual disappearance of a conditioned response when the conditioned stimulus is presented without the unconditioned stimulus.

• The initial stage of learning in classical conditioning.

• The reappearance of an extinguished conditioned response after a rest period.

• The tendency to respond to stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus.

What is Spontaneous Recovery?

• The reappearance of an extinguished conditioned response after a rest period.

• The weakening and eventual disappearance of a conditioned response.

• The initial stage of learning in classical conditioning.

• The tendency to respond to stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus.

What is Generalisation in classical conditioning?

• The tendency to respond to stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus.

• The ability to differentiate between a conditioned stimulus and other similar stimuli.

• A procedure in which a conditioned stimulus is paired with a new neutral stimulus.

• Learning that a stimulus predicts the absence of an unconditioned stimulus.

What is Discrimination in classical conditioning?

• The ability to differentiate between a conditioned stimulus and other similar stimuli.

• The tendency to respond to stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus.

• A procedure in which a conditioned stimulus is paired with a new neutral stimulus.

• Learning that a stimulus predicts the absence of an unconditioned stimulus.
